To The
American People
There is no fauniiadun for the alleged
violations of law attributed to otir Gim
pany by agents of the Federal Trade
Commission and [ wont to say emphatic
ally that Swift >±Company is not a party to
any conspiracy to deifaud the Govern
ment. Nor has Swift ± Company been
guilty of improperly storing foods or of
making raise entries or reports.
Conference* of packers, where prices
have been discussed, have been held at
the argent request and in the presence
of representatives of either the Food
Administration or the Council of National i
Defense. And yet the packers have been |
accused of committing a feionv by acting i
in collusion an Government bids! i
We have done aur best, with other
packers, large and smail. to comply vnh
the directions of the United States Food
Administration in ail particulars. ncliuring
the furnishing of food supplies hr the C.S.
Army and Navy and the Allies, now be
ing handled tfarougn the Food Auxmnts
tranon.
We will continue to do <mr utmost, un
der Government oirection. to ncrease rar
production and assist the Food Adminis
tration. We consider that the opportunity
to co-operate whole-heartedly and to our
fullest powers with this brancn of the
Government is aur plain and most press
ing duty.
The Trade Commission Attorney has*
by faise inference and misplaced empha
sis, given to disconnected portions of the
correspondence taken tram our private
hies and read into the Stecord. a false and
sinister meaning with the niain purpose
of creating antagonistic public opinion.
The services <if the packers af the
United States are most urgently needed,
and I regret exceedingly that we shouia at
this time have to spend our efforts in
defending ourselves against unfounded,
unproved, and unfair assertions such as
are being daily made public.

“I see the legislature has passed a
